@SarahJAnderson I have just written a response to an article written by Sarah. You can find it here - open.substack.com/pub/highkeylee…

@SwintonGroup Nearly an hour into a phone call with you and I've yet to speak to a human. Chat service - pathetic, only a bot and no escalation! All I wanted was to change a direct debit, now I will cancel. #CustomerExperience

I truly believe this is the time to strike. Can we all collaborate to make 2026 the year of The Foster Carer?

The carers are ready. The system is failing. The only thing standing in the way of an unstoppable alliance is "branding." Put the mission first. Put the carers first. @SarahJAnderson @FosterSupport — The door is open. Shall we make history?I

The UK fostering system is in a tailspin, and the "solutions" being offered are more of the same. 10,000 new places? Great. But who is protecting the carers already in the system? Certainly not the organisations taking money from the LAs they should be challenging.

Apologies in advance, this was a long rant! open.substack.com/pub/highkeylee…

@thatjstarnes Apologies for the rather abrupt conversation end. Connection issues.

Currently sat at the kitchen table trying to download the latest repeater files for the Icom 705. Thankfully, @andrew_macrides has been an absolute star with resources and information.

I wrote about menopause — something I once thought I had no right to talk about, but now realise men absolutely need to understand if we want to support the women we love. @highkeylee/note/c-195725161?r=h8yh" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@highkeylee/no…

The #Baofeng UV-32 feels solid in the hand. Excellent quality.

@JeremyClarkson We tried to get there a couple of weeks ago but couldn't get close as it was so busy. Not too disappointed as we all went for a burger at diddly squat instead. All the kids loved it. But me and my son would love to try the pub one day. Great job Jeremy and the team.

Exactly a year ago, we opened the Farmer’s Dog to back British farming. Today, there are 146 people on the payroll and I’d like to thank every single one of them for making it such a roaring success.
